Greetings fellow AVForums users.
Like many of you before me, I now own a place I can call my own and wish to have my little corner for entertainment and as such I want to make my own setup, in this case ATMOS setup. Despite having read a few threads in AVForums, I am far from an expert, so bear with me if I make some silly assumptions or simply lack the knowledge at some things.
First, the things I can confirm:
- I already have a LG OLED B7, which is excellent and is able to send Atmos through DD+ on ARC
- My other media source is an Xbox One X I already have as well
- I want to have a setup as hidden as possible. That means no cables laying around or sticked to the walls. I will get every cable possible behind the walls
What I am aiming for:
- ATMOS setup with ceiling speakers, not floor speakers that redirect sound
- Decent stereo music quality if possible. Multiroom on the AMP is a plus in that regard
- Hopefully not being too noisy, as I have neighbourgs. Any recommendation on how to reduce the noise outside this room would really be great
- The "sweet spot". Money well invested, without overdoing or falling terribly short. It's hard, I know, hence I am looking for recommendations.
- Ideally, things that can be purchased in "sets". I mean, in my head, and this might be an incorrect assumption on my part, if all speakers are from the same manufacturer and same set, they should be balanced out of the box, making less of a hassle to set them up.
So, if I am not mistaken, and please correct me if I am wrong, to complete the setup I need the following:
- Receiver. With ATMOS support and that is able to received ATMOS DD+ through ARC. It would be great if it had a secondary HDMI out. My plan is to plug the Xbox One X to the receiver, receiver sends signal to TV or my computer monitor through the secondary HDMI out rather than setting up a split within the XBX and the TV/monitor. I believe most modern receivers are also capable to auto-configure themselves for the best possible audio output and such thing is a big plus for me
- Speakers. Since making holes in the walls and ceilings will be more complicated in the future, I'd like to get the speakers right if possible at first try. I understand ATMOS shines it's best at 7.1.4? If that's so, then that's what I am aiming for. In-Ceiling speakers are preferred
- Decent wiring and wall plates: I am really illiterate about all these, so any kind of help on things to look for is really appreciated. I suppose it is something as basic as 2-way lines for each speaker and back to a central wall plate that conects everything back to the receiver, but better be sure than sorry.
Sadly, no reliable Hi-fi around my area to check with, or to be able to listen to some demos, hence I am begging the community for their experience
Thanks in advance
